A band from Des Moines, Iowa, made up of 9 people who never claim to be the best or heaviest metal band on earth, yet somehow, people are always saying that they suck just because they aren't as heavy as some other bands out there. The members of Slipknot have a lot of musical talent, and just because they choose to be signed onto a major record label, doesn't mean that everyone should diss them for just trying to make a living.

People think they are so cool when they say 'Oh, Slipknot isn't hardcore. They suck because I listen to underground death metal bands who no one has ever heard of because I'm an individual' when the members of Slipknot probably have more talent than they ever will.
